About the AFP

What is

ARTIST FINANCIAL PROGRAM?

The Artist Financial Program, or AFP, was developed to assist creatives to pursue artistic endeavors and succeed in life by providing palpable financial opportunities. The program staff consists of real estate and music industry professionals that are driven by seeing good, talented individuals achieve their potential- both in music and in life.

The revolutionary program merges the worlds of music, finance, & real estate. Ultimately it allows you, the artist, to fund, facilitate, & expand your career while still allowing you to own all of your intellectual properties (IE: masters, publishing, name & image). Our mission is to sustain the music industry, even the musical playing field, and give great Indie Music Acts a chance to make substantial revenue doing what they love – making music.
